Notes

If you don’t have a 8m-old crawling around, you could probably finish this in a weekend, easy.

I’m not exactly sure how much yarn this took, as I started it with a ball I had used to make the hat, and I finished the hat with the ball I started to make the booties, but I will say that the whole set took fewer than 3 balls! Maybe 2.75?

This is a great little sweater, but the pattern is a bit confusing because of the formatting. READ AHEAD OR YOU WILL MISS THINGS.

I didn’t like the openwork on the yoke so I did a simple 3 row stranded bit instead. I also didn’t like the “Dec every third p2 to p1” either so I did every p2 to a p1, and I didn’t do the two rows of knitting at the top of the neckline either, but bound off in ribbing.

I used tiny bits of leftover FatcatKnits Magnolia Polwarth from my Rainbow sweater to make the flowers and do the colorwork.
